Ever since smart phones became too much, it is humans going backwards. Funnily it is all around the same year 2014. The irony is that not only the real world 'died' since that time, but the real internet too from 2017. Over half of all Internet and social media traffic is bots already. The giants not speak up as of ad revenue. Yes you read that right, over half of all likes views and comments are not real humans, if on YouTube / social media. And now you can't see dislikes too, so let's say 60% disagrees, you would still see results as if they were a minority.

He, as a individual, caused disturbance with this electric thing, otherwise there is basically zero checks except in front of the police station itself. That's why everyone calls it police road. So if he was tapped on the fingers it was justified for sure. A lot of idiot drivers there, I stopped counting but it's at least a few per month that die on the roads. Just half a year ago some foreigner hit another minivan causing the driver of 2 kids to die. Month ago another young guy died on the spot, another one last week now needs 250K in bills for his legs etc. My best guess is that 90% of the things here not even make the news. People would be horrified.

That's what you get if nobody learns things properly. Main issue here is always people driving too slow or driving double lanes, I am pretty sure that that kind of behavior alone accounts for 30% of traffic jams. In Chiang Mai that is even 70% of the cause. I used to think it is because there are too many cars but if you really pay attention to it, and then count them, on the city sizes etc, it is actually very little. They just drive so bad, that the amount now is already causing issues.

Oh it's the foreigners again who are the reason things are not working out as predicted with revenues and tourism.... Did they ever consider that if foreigners all stopped too, there would be even less viable business, mainly in like tourism.

Fake news again? I must have missed something if Bangkok has a nice airport. Oh you mean they are that desperate that they now allow 24 hours early check in in an attempt to boost sales? Pathetic.

At least you can say without doubt; I failed in life. When you are in need of a dining group in CM 55555 What is next? Opening cigar shop number 10 while nobody wants it?

Actually if a place is really spiritual and reasonable for all sorts of people, it is Phangan. Where it seems to go wrong, is with those, and that is that many of the Israeli's actually openly say to agree and even defend anything being said against them. This is where it is for example completely different with Russians too, most of them actually despise Putin.

I doubt it would be cool to get a bad trip if there suddenly was an explosion or someone shooting or just people chaos lol.

It was until it became an event where people carry flags to it.

Anyone has been there since the 90's if you speak about that, has nothing to do with recent changes.

Israeli's have tried hard to colonize phangan since the end of covid, nobody really likes them. There have been fights and issues among the crowds itself in recent full moons due to that too. It for sure is the easiest way to target them. I guess they did not think about that when moving to a remote island.

He will be on his way if his family can pay like 500K to 1M happens a lot in CM.

Portugal is great, specially the coast line where you would fly to Faro and then you can take a diesel train trough orange farms along the coastline to albufeira, porto de mos etc. Winters are amazing, almost always blue skies, plenty of places to eat/drink etc too. Beaches super clean, oceans super blue, dolphins etc. Also little issues with immigrants and the like there as it not that attractive for them there. But a lot soi dogs. You could buy a car for like 40-80K baht, own it hassle free and just drive around + rent, the cost would not be that much different from Thailand at all. If you cook yourself it will even be cheaper for higher quality. I guess we all know what it really is about; lonely people who are single. That makes TH a easy option with the girls.

Trust me we do not miss you brits lol

Totally right, anyone I met that was not at retirement age yet, but left after X years or when they got kids, ended up doing way way better and still visit Thailand for holidays on top, even twice a year. These relationships and marriages so far all lasted too. I've seen this with 15+ couples by now, that left. There is very few I know in the same situation, that stay here long long-term, often they are alcoholic, half broke, relationship issues, not a great school or place to live either etc. Even those that do have the financial grip on it, seem to lose their relationship / marriage here. Also if then speaking about those who are in retirement age, I would even less secure here. Can't trust these doctors too, the healthcare system is crumbling already too, it only goes downhill while prices go up. Last but not least, I would have a blast to then have 2-4 weeks twice a year here to see people who are still stuck here again, have some fun in the bars, also being able to waste like a weekend millionaire. I would miss absolutely nothing, most would not even know that i left, I always lived in 2-3 cities over the year for the past decade. I'm never always at the same place. The latter is maybe in reality the biggest reason I want to leave; i have seen no progress in the entire 13 years I been here, in fact, it became worse. Why pay tax for that.

Well and even then, as soon it is a family situation and school starts... Many i see that do stay here also end up near broke. Then again, if the choice is minimum wage fulltime in the west or a simple life here, maybe here is better.

Currently waiting to finalize family court in december, after that my child will get the EU passport as well she can get a long-term visa easily as long he will register and go to school in EU + I will also live there (chavez law, parents can't be seperated from children). Not having immediate plans to go but it is starting to be very likely, even if it would be for like half the year. I actually get more quality for money and even a mortgage in Spain too, free school / healthcare. When the taxing thing comes in the news again, I would be sure. I just wonder to the OP: You say your Belgium bank informed you Thailand had asked information? Is this really true? That would be a huge indication that things are moving high speed. The entire lawyer / court thing is super easy and unlike what I heard, waiting times 4 weeks only and total costs under 15k baht in CM.

Birth certificate Copy ID mother House book etc documents Your passport and copies 400K bank for applying 90 day non-o most places nowadays, can extend 60 days and yearly. Can also extend 60 days based on 60 days on arrrival (prior 30 days). Depending your specifics you might need a document from the amphur as well proving your are. Every immigration can be different, some might want you to show up with your ex as well. You were married before so you already have the needed rights, unless you married after the child was born, in that case you have to do family court first. You can dot his until the child is 20 years old.

No you don't, stop spreading fud.

How can you be unaware of it while having a 9 year old child. Yes of course it is real thing, maybe use Google?

BS plenty of people who can't keep it hard even they were turned on and want to do it, at those ages. You would be surprised how many guys have that issue as just very few publicly admit it.

If you done your research you would also know that it obviously doesn't work if you start doing that when it is too late already. People also always overestimate the short term results over mid- and long terms. I mean, if you lived careless for the first 50 years, you really expect significant changes within a year? When it is too late already, there are no real natural solutions, you just buy viagra. Exists for a reason.

Have a friend doing this consistently for years now with tourist visa's and never had issues. I also heard from him that there are digital nomad visa's in the work.

Even without ad blocker, it actually is often not loading the ad there correctly and then instead loads another square google ad under the content bar with the title. This is super annoying, that is essentially how you motivate people to use ad blockers.
